How to replace the air filter on Mercedes-Benz C230?

For V6 models with a remote air filter housing, begin by loosening the connecting duct hose clamp. Next, release the tabs or remove the fasteners that secure the two halves of the air cleaner housing, then separate the cover halves and remove the air filter element. Installation follows the reverse order of removal. For vehicles with an integral engine cover/air filter housing, first remove the front engine cover by pulling up the front edge to disengage the front retaining clips and locator pin, then pull the cover forward to disengage the two rear retaining clips. After that, remove the fresh air intake ducts by pulling them off the air filter housing, then lift the engine cover/air filter housing to disengage it from the mounting grommets. Remove the fasteners securing the two filter element covers on the air cleaner housing and take out the air filter element. For four-cylinder models, specifically the 2002 models, the air filter housing is located at the front of the engine compartment, being long and narrow to fit transversely in front of the engine. Start by loosening the air intake duct hose clamp and disconnecting the duct, then release the tabs or remove the fasteners that secure the two halves of the air cleaner housing, separate the cover halves, and remove the air filter element. Installation is the reverse of removal. For 2003 through 2005 models, remove the fasteners that secure the top of the air cleaner housing, separate the cover, and remove the air filter element, with installation again being the reverse of removal.

Mercedes-Benz C230 Air Filter

The Mercedes-Benz C230 Air Filter shields the engine, as the incoming air passes through the filter that helps remove any dust, dirt, or other debris, thus every combustion cycle is supplied with clean oxygen. The filter is required to process close to 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel, and each Mercedes-Benz engine uses this filter to block particles as small as five microns, ensuring there is no loss of power or poor mileage. In pre-fuel-injection engines that operated with a carburetor, the Air Filter was installed in a round shape on top of the carb, whereas on fuel-injected versions of the C230, a flat panel element is housed in a remote air box that feeds the throttle body. The two designs use pleated paper as the main filtration medium since it is economical, increases airflow and trapping effectiveness, though dry elements also compete with oiled designs which provide a light coating to trap even finer grit. The circular unit can be detached by removing one wing nut, and the rectangular part by unscrewing or unclipping a few fasteners, so that owners can easily make the periodic replacements, and the seal remains very tight to keep unfiltered air out of any cracks. Regular replacement of the Air Filter ensures that acceleration of the Mercedes-Benz is quick, that idle is steady, and that crucial internal components are not subjected to early wear. Omitting this humble event makes the engine inhale a plugged mask that chokes performance and consumes a lot of fuel. This minor aspect brings great returns for all Mercedes-Benz drivers through regular focus on the same.
